Waking up in the night feeling sick

[turnthelighton]

Hi
For the last couple of nights I have been waking up at about 3:00am feeling sick like I am going to be sick but I am not sick! It goes away and I fall back to sleep.

I have doubled my medication over the last two weeks, flouxertine and I am not sure if that is doing it.

Has anyone any ideas please?

Thanks

Has no one ever had this? I find myself burping a lot now too :-(

This happens to me when my anxiety is flaring up really badly.

I sometimes wake up nauseated and panicky around 3am or 5am. Usually I bolt out of bed with my heart pounding, go to the kitchen to get some water, do some deep breathing, and eventually fall back to sleep on the couch. For me it is 100% anxiety when this happens.

My anxiety used to do this to me in the mornings for a while. I didn't actually think I was feeling particularly anxious at the time but after a week or so of it and getting racing heart rate and trouble sleeping, I realised my anxiety was picking up again. I had to work hard to manage it but when it reduced, the nausea went away.

Could be the weather, depending where you are in the country we have had so sticky nights
